J.D. Parrish

J.D. Parrish (b. 1956) is an American artist who is known for his enigmatic
figurative and equestrian compositions. Parrish calls his style, “restrained
realism” because the pieces are punctuated with highly detailed areas and open
spaces, inviting the viewer to study the work and create their own narrative.
Parrish believes that any emotion can be communicated and evoked through the
expressions and articulations of the human form. His style is reminiscent of
15th and 16th century Renaissance painters and Classical 19th century paintings.
Parrish was educated at Arizona State University and then studied at the Art
Center of Design in Pasadena, California, where he received his Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree in Illustration. Currently Parrish teaches illustration, drawing and
painting, and continues to paint and work as an artist. Some of his clients
include Touchstone, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, Warner Brothers,
Disney Studios, CBS Television, Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus,
Marriott Inns, Red Lion Inns, Double Inns, America West, Honeywell Corporation,
and Swensens.
